Stunning

A tastefully done Mild Customs can make as great an impact as a Radical Custom.

Looks Unreal!.............Not sure on the grill idea, as yet!, But certainly looks different.

Great job on the dash, but not keen on the toggle switches. Be better if they were moved to a area that they would not be seen, maybe fabricate a hidden flip panel or shift them into a center console lid. Just my 5 cents worth.

Ha. thanks for the kind words... yeah it has been a while between posts but tend to only post pics when there is stuff worth looking at...
As for the emblem, we actually had a couple to choose from and this was the best, the red paint was shot but the plastic and chrome were still presentable so we used a Dremel and got rid of all the flaky red stuff and then hit it with some acrylic black.. came up really nice....
Yeah, i have a love/hate relationship with radical customs... They are very hit or miss with me.. i think if you play with a cars original lines too much the concept can get lost in the wild bodywork.. thats why i chose to keep the stainless trim and such....
I have never been a big fan of centre consoles and liked the idea of a big shiny row of unlabelled aircraft style switches... i can see why some people wouldnt like it though....there are a cluster of switches located above the windscreen too, this is actually home to my start button.. so i turn the ignition on and then arm my missile-style switch and press the start button overhead.... its pretty cheesy Topgun stuff but yeh, you know........

haha sounds awesome
eventually mine will be kustom, im slowly working on it but the touches you have put on yours is awesome and original.

i have always wanted twin fishtails with flamethrowers, but people tell me it will sound shit and a 202 red wont have enough to evenly distribute with the pipes, how did u get yours so good?

cheers

I have learnt to listen with open ears to everyone i meet in the car industry but to carefully filter which information i take on board..... the pink one only runs a Grey motor with twin 2 inch system and look how much flame i get.... the 202 would be more than enough really....
As for sound, i think a dual system wins hands-down everytime.......

You can't rush these things, when one looks so good, he'll have no engineering probs, there's no reg changes in the next couple of years, so WHY RUSH.
